The High-Quality Development of Elderly Education Empowered by Digital and Intelligent Technology

摘要: 在人口老龄化加速与数智技术深入发展的背景下，数智技术赋能老年教育成为其实现高质量发展的重要抓手。当前，数智技术赋能老年教育面临老年人数字鸿沟严重、教师数字化素养匮乏、适老化产品供应不足以及政府政策体系不完善等困境。为了破解这些困境，需要多方面的共同努力和协作。为此，应加强老年群体数字素养教育，缩小数字鸿沟；提升教师数字化能力，促进专业化发展；开发适老化技术产品，优化用户体验；健全教育数字化保障制度，完善政府机制。以数智技术助推老年教育高质量发展，真正实现“老有所学、老有所乐、老有所为”，同时，推动老年群体更好地融入数字社会，实现社会良性运行。

Abstract: Against the backdrop of accelerating population aging and in-depth development of digital and intelligent technology, empowering elderly education with such technology has become an important starting point for its high-quality development. Currently, the empowerment is faced with such dilemmas as the serious digital divide among the elderly, the lack of digital literacy of teachers, the insufficient supply of age-appropriate products, and the imperfection of the government’s policy system. To address these dilemmas, joint efforts and collaboration from various sectors are required. To this end, we should strengthen digital literacy education for the elderly to narrow the digital divide; improve teachers’ digital capabilities to promote their professional development; develop age-friendly technological products to optimize user experience; and improve the digital education guarantee system and perfect government mechanisms. We will use digital technology to boost the high-quality development of elderly education, truly realize the goal of “Aging in Learning, Aging in Joy, and Aging in Contribution”, and at the same time, promote the elderly to better integrate into the digital society and achieve sound social operation.
